Steele had his most reps at running back with the first-team and second-team offensive units at practice Tuesday, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports. Steele turned four carries into 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-13 loss to the Jaguars, earning himself more opportunities with the top offensive packages. The 21-year-old took advantage of Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) missing another practice, seeing additional work over the likes of Deneric Prince and Keaontay Ingram according to Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Tuesday that Steele is "doing a lot of good things and being in the right spot at the right time, and that you can trust him." It's unclear what role Steele will have with the team in 2024, whether at running back or fullback, but he's doing a good job endearing himself to the coaching staff.

Steele had his most reps at running back with the first-team and second-team offensive units at practice Tuesday, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports. Steele turned four carries into 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-13 loss to the Jaguars, earning himself more opportunities with the top offensive packages. The 21-year-old took advantage of Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) missing another practice, seeing additional work over the likes of Deneric Prince and Keaontay Ingram according to Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Tuesday that Steele is "doing a lot of good things and being in the right spot at the right time, and that you can trust him." It's unclear what role Steele will have with the team in 2024, whether at running back or fullback, but he's doing a good job endearing himself to the coaching staff.
Brown (shoulder) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks due to a sternoclavicular injury suffered during Kansas City's preseason opener against the Jaguars, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Brown's recovery timeline aligns with coach Andy Reid's earlier estimate, which was based on the amount of time former Kansas City wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed due to a similar injury in 2019. The timing makes it appear unlikely that Brown will be available for the regular-season opener against the Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, though the team has yet to rule him out. If Brown's recovery timeline ends up being closer to six weeks, he could even be a candidate to begin the year on IR. Given that Rashee Rice's legal issues and potential suspension are still pending, that leaves Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney as the top wideout options sure to be available for Week 1.
Morris has a bone bruise in his knee, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports. Morris hurt his knee in practice last Wednesday and remained sidelined Monday. The nature of his injury suggests that he probably isn't slated for an extended absence. Morris was listed as the No. 2 option at left tackle on the Chiefs' initial unofficial depth chart, per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com.
Jones (chest) registered two tackles (one solo) in Saturday's 26-13 preseason loss to the Jaguars. Jones missed the final three playoff games for the Chiefs last season due to a chest injury he sustained in the wild-card round against the Dolphins. He was back on the field for Kansas City's preseason opener, when he played 39 snaps (29 on defense, 10 on special teams). Jones played mostly on special teams last season, and he's looking to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster in a depth linebacker role.
Mettauer sustained a tear in his MCL in Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports. Head coach Andy Reid told reporters Monday that the tear won't require surgery. It appears Mettauer's injury isn't season ending, however the timeline of his recovery is not yet clear, though he likely won't see the field for the rest of the preseason. He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in May and was competing for a depth spot on the offensive line before the injury.
Bolton (elbow) returned to practice Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Bolton injured his elbow during practice last month but has now fully recovered. Now healthy, the 24-year-old will likely serve as the Chiefs' top inside linebacker.
The Chiefs took Reid (quad) off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Reid returned to practice after a quad injury landed him on the NFI list last month. Now healthy, he will look to build off the career year he had last season.
Toney (back) returned to practice Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Toney didn't play in the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, but his return to the field Monday could pave the way for him to see action this weekend against the Lions. Now that he's back in the mix, Toney will look to secure a depth role in a WR corps that could potentially be without projected starter Marquise Brown (shoulder) come Week 1.
